The present disclosure describes a telecommunications equipment mount. The mount includes a stabilization frame having a bottom and at least three sides, the bottom and sides defining an open interior cavity, at least one mounting member perpendicular to one of the sides of the stabilization frame and extending outwardly from the side of the stabilization frame a distance, and at least one brace member. The at least one brace member includes a first bracket coupled to one side of the stabilization frame and configured to be secured to the at least one mounting member and a second bracket extending outwardly from the same side of the stabilization frame at an angle. A first end of the second bracket is coupled to a lower end of the first bracket and a second opposing end of the second bracket is configured to be secured to the at least one mounting member at a different location than the first bracket. The stabilization frame is configured to ballast the mount on a mounting structure when telecommunications equipment is secured to the mount. Telecommunications equipment mount assemblies are also described herein.
